Chapter 32: The First Meeting

Not too far away from Axis city, off the road Morana, Samael and Ioannes were resting near the campfire as they discussed their next moves.

"We will enter the Axis city tomorrow mid-day. The secret realm opening is in 4 days." Said Morana as the other two listened and nodded. "I think it's better to enter with a disguise to avoid trouble."

"I agree, in Lilildam we were quite eye catching." Said Samael.

"Hmm, but how are we going to disguise?" Asked Ioannes.

"Leave that to me." Said Morana.

Next Morning when Morana woke up the other two were still asleep. 

'Jolly.'

[yes Master.]

'Buy the 12 000 illusion ring from the shop.' 

[Purchase confirmed.]

"You are up?" Right as her purchase was confirmed Morana heard Samael's voice.

"Hmm."

After staying quiet for some time Samael asked "You were never afraid of the trouble before, why do you want to disguise now?"

"Before we were ahead, now they must have found our traces."

"Even though I am injured I can still deal with them, so even if they find us you don't have to worry."

"I am not worried, but it's not the right time yet."

Hearing her words Samael no longer said anything. After getting along all this time Morana was still a big mystery to him, but he trusted her decisions.

Some time later Ioannes also woke up.

"So, how are we going to disguise ourselves?" He asked.

At this Morana took out a simple ring from her space. The ring seemed to be carved out of some kind of a bone and had a few simple runes on it.

Then she handed it to Samael.

"This is an illusion ring, its power depends on the wearer, as long as no one stronger than you shows up we are good." She then looked at Ioannes. "Make us look like him."

A few hours later three very similar youngsters of different ages could be seen entering the Axis city.

They drew quite an attention as they were all beautiful with dark blue hair and sky-blue eyes. Perfect jade like skin and sharp facial features.

These three were Morana, Samael and Ioannes.

Unfortunately the people that Morana's parents sent didn't pay them much attention as the description and number of people were completely different.

After safely entering the city they met another problem. Most of the inns were already packed. When they finally found the inn that still had rooms left they met another problem there were only two rooms.

Poor Ioannes didn't know what to do. He couldn't let these two ancestors stay in the same room while he took the other room, but his beast instincts told him that if he shared the room with one of them he would definitely not live to see tomorrow.

"Give us one room." Said Morana to the attendant, letting Ioannes breathe out in relief.

After settling in their room they decided to go out and eat.

When they went to the restaurant the place was already pretty packed, but they still managed to get the private room. 

After ordering quite a few dishes they started discussing the upcoming event.

"What do we know about this secret realm?" Asked Morana

"Not much. It appeared about 4 months ago, only experts under the age of 100 can enter and it's completely unknown what's inside. There are rumors that it's some kind of inheritance from an expert from the divine realm and even the people from the middle and high realm will participate."

"Hmm. That's a little weird." Said Samael.

"What is?"

"I sense a large amount of dark mana since we entered this city."

"Do you think it's related?"

"Most likely but that's not the weirdest part, mana seems familiar like I know it from somewhere."

With this Morana also became a little vigilant.

"Let's keep our eyes open, this trip seems more dangerous than it seems." Said Morana and the other two also nodded in agreement.

Meanwhile, their food was also brought up.

Samael was not the only one who sensed familiar mana Morana also was not an exception.

'Seems like Victor is here.'

[Are you sure master?]

'Hmm he definitely is here and he is not alone. I sense another familiar mana but I can't remember where I know it from.'

[Maybe one of his underlings?]

'Could be but just in case buy the mana concealing earring that costs 5 000 points'

[purchase confirmed]

In the same restaurant's different private room where Victor, Leonie and Amalia with Zoel and others sat Victor suddenly stopped eating.

Noticing his weirdness Leonie asked

"What's wrong?"

"I think she is in the city, I sensed the mana but now it suddenly disappeared."

"You sure? Our people didn't find anything." Said Amalia.

"She is very smart. It's no surprise that your people didn't manage to find her." Said Victor with a very proud and innocent look.

"Wait, what do you mean her mana disappeared? Is she in danger?" Asked Zoel, making others tense.

"No, it's more like something is concealing her mana like an object, she must have also sensed me and hid her mana." 

"Great. Remind me, why are you still here? From what I see, you are just a hindrance." Said Zoel. He was fed up with this guy always being around, after all everything that happened was his fault.

"Zoel, that's enough." Said Amalia.

"No really, why do we even need him. All this is his fault in the first place and now that we know the baby is here he is just a hindrance. Who knows what he will do when we find her. I don't get why you guys are stopping me." Agitated Zoel could not help but look at his parents with the blame and a little anger. 

The more he thought about this angrier he became he didn't understand what his parents were thinking trusting this guy.

"Go and cool your head a bit, we will talk about this later." Said Leonie, making Zoel even more angry with his attitude, but he decided to follow his fathers words and left the room with his friends.

When he went outside he accidently bumped into a 9-year-old boy with blue hair and blue eyes, that looked just like a little doll.
